Professional photographers can be very competitive (rightfully so) I know I am…however when it comes to photographing for a colleague taking the back seat could be challenging. This is why when I second I meet the requirements of the lead and shoot like if the pictures were for me. It is very important for second photographer to understand that your work will always follow you regardless if you second or not. So with that being said, your best should be delivered at all times. For me gives me, when I second, I get a a chance of learning from colleagues, experimenting with new techniques, shooting more artistically while obv. shooting the important images from the lead. It allows me to meet new people in the industry and become friends like I have with Melanie Reyes from Melanie Reyes Photography. Here are some of my images from our wedding this past summer. Thank you to Melanie for giving me the opportunity to second for her. xoxox Liz
